According to Roberto Breschi presentation titled: "The
Small Italian States Which Lasted Beyond 1700" at ICV 19
(York,2001), the 1:1 blue-white flag (and the standard with the
cot of arms) were used until the beginning of the 18th cent. when it was
replaced by coat of arms on white.

it was elevate to county by the Pope on 1506, to Marquisate 1547,

The flag of Masserano wasn't changed with the Ferrrero-Fieschi
dinasty. In 1614 the arms of Ferrero-Fieschi (quartered: 1 and 4
- azure lion on argent; 2 and 3 - The azure band on argent) were
changed: the Emperor granted the Ferrero with the right to
quartered the Ferrero arms (i.e. blue lion on white) with the
imperial ones (black two headed eagle on white) with Fieschi
scutcheon. The arms were added to the standard, but in a modified
version where the scutcheon is not present and also other changes
were made. This standard was in use around 1615-1700.
